      @[email protected] we came so close during Able Archer in 83 (I think!) and were only saved by a very brave Soviet man who refused to believe that the traces he was seeing were real.

      I know you know this, but by crikey we were literal seconds from nuclear Armageddon and one man’s intransigence pretty much saved the entire world as we knew it.

      Like I said, what a mad time that was!
